FWIW I have a service manual from HP for a machine that uses the same style but smaller
DC-1000 tapes. HP tells how to replace the belts and also says to remove them from
another tape cartridge.

What's the best way to replace a broken belt
in a DC300 tape cartridge? Is
there a source for new belts?
Not likely unless there was a real unusual need and someone already
supplies them. Normally, the mfr (3M, Dysan, or whoever else made them)
figures the user will typically throw out a defective cart and use a new
one. Hence, the assumption there's likely no aftermarket supplier,
especially now since DC300's have been out of popularity for several years.
